In the Nord of Italy, one hour from Milan: CASTELL’ARQUATO.

In the valleys of Piacenza in Emilia Romagna, heading towards Castell’Arquato, you will find a beautiful medieval village dominated by the Rocca Viscontea of Castell’arquato.

Dating back to 1342, it stands guarding the valleys.

You can get lost in the narrow cobbled alleys, admiring walls and towers, among shops oflocal delicacies(ham and salami, cheese and homemade pasta) and restaurants.

Walking to reach the Piazza della Collegiata, the beautiful medieval Church (1222 ) on the top of the hill,you might even come across a romantic wedding (just celebrated) with the bride and groom who, like in a movie set, are posing in this fairytale atmosphere…

ROME

Above Piazza di Spagna, in Viale della Trinità dei Monti 1, you can not miss a visit to Villa Mediciand its gardens, considered among the most beautiful in the world!

The Villa Medici always frequented by artists and art historians, since 1803 is the headquarters of the French Academy in Rome.

You will enjoy one of the most beautiful views of Rome…

Inside the Villa Medici, I suggest you stop by COLBERT, a restaurant and bistrot, located in the Galleria del Duca Ferdinando dé Medici.Roman cuisine but with a French touch, trés chic and with a spectacular view!

It’s simpler than you think!
